Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast explores themes of personal development, with a strong focus on topics such as burnout, boundaries, and belonging. Specific episodes like The Holy Work of Grief with James Kress highlight real-life experiences and practical insights, aiming to inspire listeners to reclaim joy and authenticity in their lives.
We shouldn’t have to trade our authenticity for belonging. The cost is too high. Hosted by Sheila Delaney, Crazy Beautiful Truth is good medicine for navigating burnout and loneliness, reshaping identity, and navigating change. Through soulful conversations and radical reflection, we explore healing, leadership, human-ing, and what it means to reclaim your vitality, courage, and creativity. We ask big questions of good people and want you to feel at home here.
If you are asking: Is there more to life than this? What else is possible?
Spoiler alert: Yes. And anything your heart desires.

If you’ve ever felt burned out, isolated, or like you should be “stronger” than your pain, this episode is your reminder:
✔ You don’t have to do it alone.
✔ Self-love isn’t vanity. It’s oxygen.
✔ Asking for help is not weakness. It’s wisdom.
Together we explore resilience, asking for help, self-love, boundaries, intuition, and how to turn pain into purpose, wounds into wisdom. Erica’s story will stay with you long after the episode ends.
